BARCELONA, SPAIN — READY TO BLOW. The bombs were timed to go off at the same time an armed forces day exhibit opened. Experts Saturday defused the two devices that were aboard a replica of Christopher Columbus' Santa Maria. The vessel, 82 feet long and 25 feet wide, is popular with tourists. Terra Lliure, a group seeking independence for Catalonia in northeast Spain, claimed responsibility in a telephone call to a news agency.
